Watch, Listen, and Learn is a music appreciation text that challenges students to think and engages them with questions to which there are no right or wrong answers, or perhaps no answers at all.
Available as a webtext, Watch, Listen, and Learn features:
- a syllabus.
- study guides for each chapter.
- quizzes and chapter summaries for every chapter.
- unit tests, and a gradebook.
- a comprehensive glossary and flash cards.
Why a webtext instead of an ebook? The answer is that, unlike a hardcopy book or an ebook, everything that is needed for the course is included in the text. As you will see the book has built into it a syllabus, study guides for each chapter, quizzes and chapter summaries for every chapter, unit tests, and a gradebook, as well as a comprehensive glossary and flash cards.
